162 Anger And Vengeance
—–
Attacked by the horror of her little sister having been tortured so horrendously, Cassandra couldn’t help but feel an utter frustration, horror, and sorrow as she saw little Ruby in such a terrible state… She only had one thing in her mind now, to escape and help her recover somehow, but to do that… She couldn’t leave things be. She had to avenge her sister and torture the monster that did this to her.
“Shiwster… It hurtsh… Where weye you?”
Ruby cried desperately, hugging Cassandra, for months she had gone through horrendous torture, and her entire body was marked by such a terrible physical and psychological trauma, that many times she had attempted to kill herself, and her tongue was cut off for that very reason, as she often tried to bite her tongue.
“I am sorry, Ruby…! Ruby, I was looking for you everywhere… I am so sorry, I love you! I am sorry! Your little body… What… What has that monster done to you?! I… I will bring you away… We’ll escape… After we kill that whore… after… we torture her! I’ll steal everything she has… And we’ll live off that… I will find a way to heal you… No matter what!!!”
“Shiwster… Where weye you?”
“R-Ruby, I am here… I was looking for you…”
“Where? I can’t see you…”
“Ah…”
Despite having a single eye, that eye was burned by acid, and Ruby was completely blind. Cassandra touched her sister, touching her face, kissing her scars, her bald head was covered in so many scars, it was so horrendous to touch her rugose skin and painful to Ruby as well…
“I am sorry… I am sorry…” She cried.
“Sniff… Big shishter…! Don’t leave me…” Cried Ruby.
“I won’t… I will never leave you… Absolutely not… Never!” Cried Cassandra.
Cassandra wrapped her sister around her torso using her spirit threads and drinking the mana potions she found in the storage. She held a fine kitchen knife in her hand, and sneakily entered the room of the Lady, who was sleeping soundly. There were guards, of course, two butlers, who were swiftly silenced by having their mouths wrapped by magic threads and then getting their throats stabbed repeatedly before they could even react.
The door was open after that, and quickly closed tightly, as they found the one behind everything sleeping leisurely. Her husband was always in trips, as he was a merchant that moved merchandise everywhere by himself, so this woman got to enjoy the entire manor for herself and do whatever she wanted in this free time… She had everything so easy and leisurely, Cassandra couldn’t help but envy her life, how nice everything was, how clean she always was, how pretty she was, how pretty her clothes were, how tasty the food she ate was…
Cassandra wrapped the woman’s arms around the bed before she reacted, and then poured a toxic potion the woman herself used in her victims to paralyze their bodies all inside of her mouth, forcing her to gulp it down.
“W-Wha… Agghh! W-What?! Ca… ssandra?!” The Lady looked at Cassandra with bloodshot eyes, without the ability to move, she summoned her floating, purple-colored whip, and attempted to attack her.
Cassandra evaded the attacks and used her threads, which she filled with Mana until they became incredibly hard to wrap around the whip and crush it until it exploded into spiritual smoke… the spirit won’t be able to be summoned in hours after dying, and the Lady was left completely defenseless.
“How nice… Isn’t it?” She asked. As the Noble Lady looked at Cassandra and noticed a lump she was carrying wrapped around her back. That lump slowly moved, as her disfigured and burned face emerged behind Cassandra, a little and horrible girl that was once incredibly pretty, the girl she enjoyed torturing and making “ugly”, the girl she enjoyed taking away all her beauty and innocence… Ruby.
“Y-You found Ruby?!” Asked the Noble Lady.
“Lady Cassiopeia, I’ve been a good servant this entire time… I’ve always done what I thought was right, I endured your abuse because I thought it was the price I had to pay to live well with my sister…” Sighed Cassandra. “But you did something that I cannot let slide… you did something unforgivable…”
“C-Cassandra, stop this! Don’t you know who my husband is?! If you ever dare lay a finger on me I will…! UGYAAAH!” Lady Cassiopeia was interrupted by a knife piercing her hand, she couldn’t move an inch due to the paralysis poison, and the threads wrapped around her limbs…
“You whore, you think you can interrupt my words? After all the shit you’ve done to us… to my sister?” Asked Cassandra. “Do you think I give a fucking damn about who your husband is?”
Cassandra pointed the knife into the face of the lady, as it quickly began to pierce her nose, cutting off the skin as blood began to drip, the lady screamed, but her screams were dulled out by the threads wrapping around her mouth, she could only moan loudly desperately.
“You were born in luxury and lived a life like a rich woman… Why couldn’t you be satisfied with that alone?”
“You had food, all the food you ever wanted…”
“You had a nice and warm bath, and precious clothes… Beautiful jewels…”
“What else could you ever want? You had a house, a husband that loves you… What else did you wanted?”
“You have everything… I bet you had such a happy childhood, didn’t you? I bet you had tons of friends that loved you!”
“I bet you had everything you’ve ever wanted, didn’t you? You always had it all!”
“Yet… Yet… It wasn’t enough, isn’t it? You had to become a fucking bitch, isn’t it? You had to torture people to feel a thrill, right? I can relate a bit to you, in that sense, I also feel a thrill every time I kill bastards.”
“But this time… it is different… I think I will stretch this out a bit… So I can feel better. So bear with it until you die, okay?”
